When I'm Free To Do What I Want
Happiness is not having our worldly desires satisfied. Rather, happiness is. Happiness and fulfillment are bound up in the very person of Jesus Christ; therefore, happiness and fulfillment require a true relationship with Jesus Christ who, in His very person, eternally and completely satisfies our deepest longings.

Adoption - What's HIs Is Ours
We are God's chosen! What a wonderfully glorious thought! He gave His only son, a sacrifice for our sins, that we might be brought into God's family! Adopted sons and daughters of the One True God, with all the rights, thereof! Wow!

Freedom-Faith Goes to Work - Galatians #11
What makes the Christian faith like no other? The good news of God’s grace is the bold claim that we are accepted by God not because we “follow the rules” or “fit the mold” but because Jesus gave his own life to rescue us. But many of us are still trying to earn God’s love with our performance rather than living in the freedom that Jesus has provided for us. In Galatians, Paul warns against the danger of religious systems that value people on grounds of accomplishment or status or cultural agreement. These things lock away our freedom in the futility of legalism, moral superiority and cultural arrogance. Focusing on either the racial/ethnic/cultural superiority or the moral successes of good works denies the gospel and divides Jesus’ followers. Join us as we explore how God offers us true freedom in Jesus and how the freedom of Christ transforms our hearts, our minds and lives.

An Illustration: Hagar and Sarah
Paul resumes his argument from the Old Testament to show that the Galatians are being wrongly enslaved by the false teachers. He points out that Abraham had more than one son, but only one was the heir, according to the promise. Hagar and Sarah represent the Old and New Covenants, Law and Gospel, slavery and free sons.

Sons and Heirs
The gospel brings us a new status- that of sons. Like the Galatians, we can slip back into living like slaves. But the Father sent His Son to redeem us that we might receive adoption as sons, and the Spirit to experience this status subjectively.
